I am so glad this over. Now Jason and I can begin our lives together. I can't believe that his and Sam's marriage was never valid. I can't believe how hard Carly was laughing. It took all I could not to laugh myself.
Jason came back downstairs and asked how I was doing. I said I was very tired; I may need my feet rubbed again. I asked are the boys okay. He said, Jake is down for the count and Cam is playing a video game with Adien. I think both are happy to be back to civilization. Jason said, it's been such a long day, why don't I order something, and have it delivered? Any requests? I said, how about Ribs and garlic mashed potatoes? He said done. While we were waiting for the food Jason told the boys to wash up. Then he took off my shoes and gave me an amazing foot rub. Maybe I should just stay pregnant all the time, I love being taken care of like this, but then I thought, no this one should be the last. I'm getting too old for this.
Suddenly my foot jerked. Jason asked are you okay? I said I think the baby kicked for the first time. He sat up and put his hands on my belly. I said wait a few moments and soon he felt it. It was barely noticeable. I said, with all this excitement, I totally forgot to schedule a check-up. I'll call Kelly tomorrow, there is no way I am going to see Britt. I said to Jason, I have been away from work for so long, I don't even know if I can get my job back, especially if Dr. Obrecht is still in charge. I'm not sure if I still have any vacation days left, besides for now I am still the breadwinner unless Michael gives you a raise. Jason said that is for tomorrow.
The food arrived and Adien and Cameron came downstairs after Jason finished setting the table everyone sat down to eat. I inhaled my meal. Jason asked Cameron to clean up and he took Adien upstairs for his bath. I slowly walked upstairs knowing not only would I be sleeping in but was very content everything was over. Jason finished Aiden's bath and put him to bed. I climbed into the shower and turned on the hot water. Soon I felt Jason's body pressed against me. I turned around and we kissed for a very long time. He pushed the hair away from my face as the water was rolling down it. He rubbed his hands over my belly before he got out and dried himself off and went to the bedroom to get into his boxers. I dried myself off but added some lotion to my body as I was getting very dry. I looked at my naked body and saw the small little bump and smiled.
I headed to the bedroom and got into my nightshirt to join him in bed. I felt something under my pillow and reached for it. There was a small box and Jason looked at me and said I asked you a question seven years ago. Circumstances prevented us from moving forward, but I'm asking again. I started crying and said yes, but how and when did he get this, he didn't know about Sam and it's not like he was making a lot of money from Carly or Michael. He asked me to open it and it was a beautiful French cut diamond ring with emerald and topaz gems in the middle. He said the topaz represents my birth month and emerald is the birth month of Jake. He told me he bought it for me years ago, but when the shit hit the fan, he put it into a safe deposit box and forgot all about it until recently. He knew that Jason had money kept there and wanted to help me out at home and he saw the box and was going to ask me anyway and wait until he could get a divorce, but now we didn't have to worry about that anymore. He said I hope you don't mind, but I'd like us to get married before our baby is born. That made me very happy.
The next day I was able to get in to see Kelly. Jason insisted on coming along. We knew word would spread across town the truth about him, but we were moving forward. I introduced him to Kelly as if they were meeting for the first time. She examined me and then used the ultrasound. She asked if we wanted to know the sex and we looked at each other and at the same time said yes. Kelly said, congratulations, you are going to have a baby girl. We walked out of her office holding hands and ran into Dr. Obrecht. Apparently, Nikolas had some pull, along with words and donations from the Q's and Patrick she told me I still had my job if I wanted it as I still had some unused vacation days. Jason knows how important being a nurse said only if you want, but you will be taking time off when our baby comes. I told her I would show up for work tomorrow. I stopped by to see Patrick and told him we were having a baby girl. He looked at my finger and said, I guess congratulations twice. He then said he heard from Anna and she wanted to see him and Emma that night. Did I know anything about that? I said sorry no.
Then I turned and walked out with Jason and whispered, I think Robin is coming home. Hopefully, you will be able to thank her and maybe more memories of her will come back. We headed over to Kelly's and sat in the corner. Jason said, maybe we should talk names. At the same time, we said "Emily", and laughed.
The end
